Clooney wants to have a say about the middle East. Both Clooneys. Anti Bibi stuff.
Watch Clooney come around if he gets something he wants for his wife.

Clooney and his wife were upset with Biden about the ICC. Three weeks ago George Clooney publicly rebuked the Biden admin for rejecting his wife’s work on the ICC trying to jail Netanyahu as a war criminal.

Biden had sharply criticized a move by the International Criminal Court to issue warrants for Israeli leaders.

George Clooney called one of President Biden’s top aides last month to complain about the president’s criticism of the International Criminal Court’s action against Israeli leaders — a case his wife, Amal Clooney, worked on.

Clooney called Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president, to express concern about Biden’s denunciation of arrest warrants sought by ICC prosecutors for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, especially his use of the word “outrageous.”

The actor was also upset about the administration’s initial openness to imposing sanctions on the ICC because his wife might be subject to the penalties, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation.
